The Nutraceutical Difference
Nutri-Dog™ Chews taste great — that your dog knows. But what he doesn’t know — and doesn’t need to know — is that they contain “pill-strength” supplements that are good for his coat, hip and joints. That’s for your peace of mind.
What is “pill-strength”? The difference is in the numbers. Most chews that claim to have Glucosamine and Omega fatty acids don’t have a meaningful amount.
Glucosamine
Industry experts recommend that a 40+ lb. dog should get 500 mg of Glucosamine per day. How many of your favorite treats would your dog need to eat?
1 Nutri-dog™ Hip & Joint Large Chew contains 585 mg of Glucosamine while Greenies® Senior Treats contain 2.04 mg Glucosamine (requiring over 245 units) and Pedigree® Good Bites™ Hip & Joint contain 1.26 mg Glucosamine (requiring more than 396 units).
What Is Glucosamine?
Many pet owners wonder exactly what Glucosamine is. What does it do? And how can you use it to care for your dog’s hips and joints? Glucosamine is a compound that is found in the body and is a building block to support healthy cartilage and joint fluid. Healthy cartilage and joint fluid can impact not only a dog’s comfort, but its ability to perform normal daily activities such as walking, running, and climbing stairs. Degenerative joint disease and arthritis can affect many dogs, both large and small, regardless of age. When considering a treat or pill with Glucosamine, it is important to look for the right amount of Glucosamine. Recommended levels of Glucosamine vary based on a dog’s weight and other factors.
What Are Omega Fatty Acids?
Skin irritation and skin/coat issues are a common problem for pets and their owners. Omega 6 and 3 are important ingredients to consider when caring for your dog’s skin and coat. For many years, pet owners have given fatty acids to their dogs to change a dull or dry coat into a shinier one. These Omegas help reduce itching, shedding and flaking. They can also help with allergies, the control of inflammation, and the immune system.
Always consult with your veterinarian about the right amount of Glucosamine or Omega 6 & 3 for your dog.
